Yes, yes, yes! This would be fantastic!

Hi Magnus,
I discussed this with Diederik yesterday and we came up with the following
proposal:
• Import domas' hourly pageview data into the cluster on a daily
basis
• Run a daily pig script to get total pv counts per article using
Oozie
• Load data into a MySQL table on one of the internal data
analysis DBs
• Use web.py as framework to expose data via JSON (no
visualization) on stat1001
this would allow us to publish the per-article pv data that you and others
need with a reasonable frequency (assuming that people interested in hourly
data will still use the raw dumps instead of this simple API).
Would that work for you guys?

Hi Erik,
in principle, yes, that would be useful. However:
* I would mostly need "last month" on a continued basis, at the moment
stretching back to September 2012 I believe
* As a flat file it's not seek-able, which
means I would have to run
through the entire thing for each of my ~50 page sets, or
keep all 50 in
memory; neither of which is appealing
Maybe I could read such a file into a toolserver database? It would be a
duplication of effort, and add load to the toolserver, but hey ;-)
Cheers,
Magnus

I have code to aggregate Domas' hourly file

It has been a Xmas holiday past-time and is still a bit buggy, but I can

Would this be useful, for you Magnus?

Subject: Re: [Analytics] Access to view stats
Hi Diderik,
in principle, all of the Wikimedia projects; currently, all listed at
http://stats.grok.se/ which is the top 100 or so Wikipedias. Plus
Commons, if possible.
As for the number of pages on those, that seems to fluctuate (probably
just my
scripts breaking on slow/missing data, occasionally); the largest
amount I can find is May 2012, with ~350K pages. But, this only needs to
run once a month. I could even give you the list if you like, and you can
extract the data for me ;-)
But that would certainly not be a long-term, scalable solution. An SQL
interface
on the toolserver would be ideal; a speedy http-based API would
be good as well (maybe even better, as it would not require the toolserver
;-), especially if it can take chunks of data (e.g. POST requests with a 1K
article list), so that I don't have to fire thousands of tiny queries.
Cheers,
Magnus

Hi Magnus,
Can you the list of pages for the Wikimedia projects that you are
interested in.
Once I know how many pages that are I can come up with a
solution.

I have received an increasing number of external requests for something
more
efficient than the stats.grok.se JSON interface and more
user-friendly than Domas' hourly raw data. I am also one of the interested
consumers of this data.
Diederik, any chance we could prioritize this request? I guess
per-article and
per-project daily / monthly pv would be the most useful
aggregation level.

Hi all,
as you might know, I have a few GLAM-related tools on the toolserver.
Some are
updated once a month, some can be used live, but all are in high
demand by GLAM institutions.
Now, the monthly updated stats have always been slow to run, but did
almost grind
to a halt recently. The on-demand tools have stalled
completely.
All these tools get their data from stats.grok.se, which works well but
not really
high-speed; my on-demand tools have apparently been shut out
recently because too many people were using them, DDOSing the server :-(
I know you are working on page view numbers, and for what I gather it's
up-and-running internally already. My requirements are simple: I have a
list of pages on many Wikimedia projects; I need view counts for these
pages for a specific month, per-page.
Now, I know that there is no public API yet, but is there any way I can
get to the
data, at least for the monthly stats?
Cheers,
Magnus
